It's obviously black, right?

Orange and green.

Unless it's haribo in which case the white/clear ones. I don't actually know what flavour they are but I'd eat a bag of those very happily.

Green are always the best, followed by yellow.

Then red, then orange and finally black.

I always eat them in reverse order.

I think I must have posted here, forgotten and name changed Grin

Green, then yellow, then orange

Black goes in the bin, yuk!

Black, then white if they have one. Peardrop.

Send me the black ones

Green.

My family know never to take the green ones.

Partner claimed at start of relationship that the colours don't affect the flavour, and I did a blind tasting of midget gems to prove that they do .

Black? red? Where is the trigger warning on this thread??

Green ( lime) is the undisputed best.

Grape is the worst. uk purple ( blackcurrant) is so much better.

Red. DH and I have a 'Not gotta chew' contest, where the one who sucks the pastille to it's absolute thinnest wins.

We are both 68 years old.

LunaNorth · 22/04/2023 20:38

Red
Purple
Black
Orange

Yellow and green come way down the list.

Since adulthood all gummy sweets are eaten in the following order:
Black
Red
Orange
Yellow
Green.

In childhood, I ate them in the reverse order.

However, the real question is why am I, a fully grown adult, still eating gummy sweeties?

Because they're delicious?

You are correct.

Definitely not green

RicherThanYews · 22/04/2023 20:45

Green Starburst!

Treasureboxkey · 22/04/2023 20:46

Blue. Obviously.
Because the best gummy sweets are the blue and pink fizzy bottles.
Blue fizzy hard boiled sweets and blue slushies are also amazing.

Other than that:
Orange
Green
Yellow
Red
Then black

FrangipaniBlue · 22/04/2023 22:20

Orange if chocolate is involved but otherwise green

Black is too risky because I'm allergic to liquorice and you can never be sure which kind of black you're going to get !!
